Really? I was using the computer at 6, although basic stuff in DOS (I remember being proud I knew how to start games etc). At 6 you're in primary school in the UK and using a computer and internet safety is definitely a big thing. Not sure why you'd be saddened by this? Its not like its a black and white you either play outside or you use the computer thing. People can do both and learning about technology early is a good thing.

We know that children are more easily exploited, no matter how tech savvy, but it's not so much the 6 year old age that hit me reading that; it's the fact the having an offline private life is being eroded, and I'm not sure about what is replacing it.
